But if you could open enough channels to flip to scale and do 5x per year across 3 - 5 markets and now with volume you've made it something worthwhile.

Our average daily rate(ADR) is high for our STRs, and we provide many amenities to cater to a more luxury clientele, but because of that guests have very high expectations when they book.

it's hard to do that as an agent, easy to do as a spec or volume builder or developer if you have floorplans you like, etc. we build triplexes happy to chat and help you understand the market better here and see if new construction is for you 

But as a previous post mentioned if you have some flexibility in your profession (time) and the personality to engage with tenants daily then it is truly possible to run things remotely when you go abroad.

If your goal is more FIRE oriented where you 'retire early' - cash flow pretty much has to be a part of that plan the way I see it.For me, cash flow is what justifies the 'daily grind' of being a landlord.  

Your first job will be to educate yourself daily on the investing strategies you plan to use.

You get what you put in. eXp has tremendous training both video and live daily.

Ya Susan unless you have to go to the ER and are now #20 behind more than half of the folks there with no insurance and just using the ER for their daily doctor IE colds etc.. and we are paying 2k a month in health insurance and medicare  to get what last in line behind those that pay zero.. it can be pretty frustrating ..

There are also many other platforms other than Real Auction, some of those are Grand Street Group, SRI, **********, etc.those platforms manage tax sales auction for different states and counties, so you have to check them out daily or weekly.with Fastlien you have everything at your fingertips, download tax sale lists, calendar view of all the upcoming auctions, I find it much easier and less time-consuming.regardsEmanuel Wijkhuisen
